A new teaser trailer was released.


Coverage of the NYCC panel.

Amanda Plumber will be joining Picard for its last mission was too. The Tony Award winner and daughter of past Trek villain Christopher Plumber is set to play the final season’s top baddie Vadic – as you can see in the photo above. Captain of the Shrike starship, Vadic clearly has some serious and deadly grievances with Picard and his old companions, if the trailer is a good indication.

Also added to the Picard cast this season Mica Burton and Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut in recurring roles. The real life daughter of Levar Burton, Critical Role alum Mica Burton will play Ensign Alandra La Forge, the youngest offspring of her TNG dad Geordi La Forge. Cruel Summer star Chestnut will portray Ensign Sidney La Forge, eldest daughter of Geordi La Forge and helmsman of the U.S.S. Titan.

I enjoyed the final season but I can't help but wonder if it was the Star Trek Movie 14 we should have gotten.

Nice! It's hard to pick between that and Andor for best series. But Picard probably earned it.

If there was a category for Best Star Wars Anything Ever Andor could have swept that.

Also Best New Series isn't too shabby.
